Democratic state Sen. Bob Wirch of Pleasant Prairie has outraised and outspent his Republican opponent in a recall election that will be decided next week.
Wirch reported Tuesday that he had raised $257,000 for the year and spent $200,000. His challenger, Republican Jonathan Steitz, has raised just $72,000 for the year and spent $49,000.
Wirch is one of two Democrats targeted for recall next week. Six Republicans are on the ballot Tuesday.
Democratic Sen. Jim Holperin also outraised and outspent his Republican challenger Kim Simac. Holperin raised $494,000 for the year compared with $221,000 for Simac.
All the candidates are being outspent by outside interest groups on both sides which are pouring tens of millions of dollars into the races.
